This short and intense tour combines stunning views from a panoramic hill, hidden communist-era bunkers, spiritual monuments and strong history. We start with a journey to the observation point over the city, Ionia and Corfu. Then we descend to a secret anti-aircraft base with tunnels and artillery positions. We visit the Monastery of the 40 Saints, the historical symbol that gave Saranda its name, and end with a stop at a local mosque to understand the resurgence of faith after communism.

Visit to Underground Tunnels and Bunkers on the Hill (9:15 – 10:15, 60 minutes): We explore authentic Cold War-era tunnels and bunkers built during the regime's paranoia of invasion. Led by our expert guide, you'll hear real, chilling stories of life under communism – including surveillance, forced labor, and the massive bunkerization project that dotted Albania with over 173,000 structures.

3. Visit to the Monastery of the 40 Saints (10:30 – 11:15, 45 minutes): We continue to the historic Monastery of the 40 Saints, admiring its Byzantine architecture and scenic location. The guide explains how the communist regime, after declaring Albania the world's first atheist state in 1967, repurposed this sacred site as a military base, destroying or closing religious buildings nationwide.

Visit to Saranda's Great Mosque and Exploration of its Architecture (11:30 – 12:15, 45 minutes): We visit Saranda's prominent Great Mosque, where you'll admire its elegant Ottoman-influenced architecture and learn about its key elements: the mihrab (niche indicating the direction of Mecca), the minbar (pulpit for sermons), the ablution area (abdeshane), and the graceful minaret. The guide will discuss the revival of religion after the fall of communism in 1991, sharing powerful real-life stories of how believers secretly practiced their faith during the regime – hidden prayers, underground gatherings, and the immense risks involved under severe persecution.
